TRANSMISSION AND PREPARATION AND PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING AN EXPORT SIGNAL FROM A RECEIVED TRADE SIGNAL

摘要

An apparatus for providing a multicarrier signal to be transmitted from a transmitting point to a receiving point via a plurality of carrier frequencies comprises a processor (101) for processing an input signal for obtaining a number of sub-signals consisting of successive discrete values, wherein the number of sub-signals is equal two or greater than two, an assigner (103) for assigning the discrete values of the number of sub-signals to successive carrier frequencies to obtain a multicarrier signal, wherein the assigner is operated to assign successive discrete values of a first sub-signal to every Sth carrier frequency starting with a first carrier frequency, and to assign successive discrete values of a second sub-signal to every Sth carrier frequency starting with a second carrier frequency, wherein the carrier frequency is different from the first carrier frequency; and wherein S denotes a number being equal to or greater than the number of sub-signals. The assigning of different sub-signals to different carrier frequencies allows an efficient exploitation of the available bandwidth.
